Well yeah, that's because you're treating them like equals and not trying to dominate them!
That's the entire extent of his in person attempt to look tough. Otherwise he only tries to act tough from 1000 km away.
Honestly surprised by this outcome. It's been hard not to expect terrible news for LGBT equality.
Imagine being one of the pieces of shit who dissented. That's an interesting way to make your mark on history: ensure that textbooks 100 years from now will make students marvel at your obscene cruelty and inhumanity. What a legacy.

Shaking someone's hand like that just makes you look like a moron. Thinking that it's a show of dominance is laughable.
Applying too strictly can do that but at some point it falls on the law makers to do their job. While this can be difficult in certain political climates as you said it should not be the role of the judiciary to create law.
More bad news for Trump lol.
Very happy for the LGBT community. The constitution is very clear on equal protection so I'm glad the correct decision was made.

The surprise, iron-grip "I could rip your hand off if I wanted to" handshake is a well-known power move among business exec types. Yanking the entire arm and pulling the person forward is kinda' new to me, but I'm not surprised that Trump thinks it's the way to go.
I'm 6'6", so I don't have to deal with it often, but few things piss me off more. Nothing wrong with a firm or enthusiastic handshake (pre-pandemic, anyway) but turning a simple handshake into a game of iron-claw is trashy AF, IMO.
Chris Geidner @chrisgeidnerKavanaugh does not join Alito's dissent, and instead tries to write a "nice" dissent — with reference to Stonewall and saying that "gay and lesbian Americans ... can take pride in today's result," but reaching the same conclusion that the majority is wrong.
Notably, Kavanaugh did not address transgender coverage in his dissent, literally pushing the entire question into a footnote.

Looking like a moron is Trump's default state. But I agree that this "handshake" makes him look even more weak, petulant, and stupid.
For what it's worth, the ruling does leave the question of whether or not religious organizations can discriminate against LGBT people if it violates their religious beliefs....
Just Alito comparing same-sex attraction to "the urge to rape" in the dissenting opinion.
WTF is this garbage?!?!?!
what the fuck? not only is it clear he doesn't grasp what LGBT+ people are, he makes a grotesque jump to make them look like deviants

I am genuinely shocked. Thank you, Gorsuch, for doing the right thing.
Thomas and Alito need to fucking retire. They've been anti-progressive assholes for years.

certainly not uncommon for someone like him to think that.
bewildering that he would write it down in plain english like that for history to see
Scum will be scum. It's a useful reminder of exactly how much reason, compassion, and empathy we can expect from conservative bigots. These people are evil.

I am very happy for all you americans who are now one important step closer to equal rights. 🏳️🌈❤️
No arguments here, I'll never understand why so many people see him as an "alpha" leader. Constantly acting like a fool and having an ego as fragile as antique glass is considered manly by them. If we want to understand where masculinity has gone wrong we should start with this bs.
Better than 50/50 odds Thomas retires if Biden beats Trump so Republicans get to keep the seat.
I was bracing for the worst today this is fucking huge, fucking happy pride month yall
Edit: I'm crying yall

holy shit, 6-3?
I've never seen this gif in such high quality before*live look at Fox News*
Gorsuch honestly wasn't a bad pick, but Kavanaugh was 100% a plant and he a shitty judge.
I think Gorsuch knows how history works, and he knows which side he wants to be on.
This is absolutely fantastic.
But also a reminder of how important the Supreme Court is. Trump winning in November will destroy this for decades and it will not recover in our lifetime.

How is this showing dominance? If someone did that to me I wouldn't feel dominated, I'd just think some idiot yanked my arm. I could maybe see it working if it's done subtly but Trump basically yanks this guy across he stage, it's beyond stupid.
My optimism was right for once!

October 8th the Supreme Court will argue if employers can fire you for being LGBT
I'm very optimistic that this will establish sexual orientation as a protected class.

Because one person is establishing that they appear to be stronger than the other. That's all it is.
